Muhammad al-Tawil of Huesca.

About Muhammad al-Tawil of Huesca

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Malik al-Tawil was a Muwallad Wāli of Huesca and a prominent Muslim lord in the Upper March of Al-Andalus in the late-ninth and early-tenth centuries. Acting autonomously from his nominal masters the Emirs of Córdoba, he carried out his own foreign policy and fought both Christian and Muslim regional rivals, including the Counts of Barcelona, Pallars and Aragon, the King of Pamplona and the Banu Qasi of the Upper March. From him arose a short-lived dynasty, the Banu al-Tawil, who would rule Huesca, Barbastro and Lleida, off and on, for a century, eventually losing out to the Banu Tujib of Zaragoza.
